Featured Worship Leaders
Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
Worship Artists
For as long as Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe can remember, they’ve both loved Jesus, had a heart for worship, and been passionate about entering into God’s presence. Their calling to worship propels them in life, unites them in marriage, and is unquestionably felt through their music. As a couple, their ministry is simply a reflection of what they hold most dear: knowing Jesus and helping others know Him too. Longing to create spaces for intimate worship, their hearts are clear:
“When we worship, we’re stepping into the very thing we were created for—connecting to God.”
It’s the core of their mission. Their goal isn't merely to perform on platforms or play concerts at venues. It's to draw near to their Heavenly Father and invite everyone around them to do the same. Becoming voices beyond their singing ability, Carnes and Jobe exemplify how worship is an all-encompassing journey, not limited to conferences or Sunday mornings but deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life. Their awards and accolades speak to their talent and gifting, but in the end, they aren’t the reason for what they do. Their motive has been and always will be Jesus.
Now residing in Nashville, Tennessee, Carnes and Jobe are committed to traveling the globe, helping people encounter God through their collaborative music and ministry in real, personal ways.
Francis Chan
Pastor, Author and Speaker
Francis Chan has been a pastor for more than 30 years. He is a New York Times best-selling author of several books, including Crazy Love, Letters to the Church, and Until Unity. He and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 30 years and are coauthors of You and Me Forever.

United Voice Worship (UVW) was formed in 2017 as a group of Jesus followers passionate about honoring God through song and seeing people come together as one. Their hearts for worship and intentional desire to “bridge life together” has set this a cappella Christian music ministry apart as it is uniquely postured to influence every generation of humanity to live out the “agape” love of Jesus.
UVW comprises worship pastors and praise leaders from various locations including Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The group has recorded three albums streaming on all major platforms and traveled the country since 2017.
WAVES WORSHIP
University Ministry
WAVES WORSHIP is a homegrown worship movement at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. A collaboration between students, staff, and alumni, WAVES WORSHIP is a reflection of the move of God within this generation that aims to capture the songs God is singing over the Pepperdine campus community and the heartcries the community is singing back to Him.
Marked by purity, truth, and intimacy with the heart of the Father, WAVES WORSHIP is a family overflowing with unlimited creative expression for this generation to authentically encounter Christ.
